FROM YOUR LENS TO BBA GALLERY
We are looking for that one definitive frame that stops viewers in their tracks. Designed to be our most accessible global open call, the 2026 Spring Edition gives photographers a direct path into the Berlin art scene. To maximise exposure during our most prestigious event of the year, the 2026 Prizes festival, a Shortlist of 20 images will be professionally printed and exhibited on the walls of the BBA Gallery, with all production costs covered 100% by us. Additionally, a Longlist of 30 images will be showcased on a large digital display within the exhibition space. This is your opportunity to put your vision directly in front of an international audience of collectors, curators, and industry professionals.
- Just one image: You do not need a massive portfolio or an expensive series to make an impact in the art world.
- For everyone: We welcome artists of any background, nationality, and ability, our only rule is that you must be over 18 to apply.
- Any style: You can submit work in absolutely any photographic medium or genre.
